"How?" YUANZI LISTENED TO THE UNRELIABLE SPECULATION OF THE MOUNTAIN VILLAGE, AND LOOKED AT GAO CHENG AGAIN, "IS MR. HOTUMI REALLY LYING?" ”

"No, it won't."

Gao Cheng's expression suddenly became decisive and serious, and he took the list of advertisers to check.

"The name HOTUMI may just be a title, it's normal for part-time staff to not know, and the identity can be verified by the local town office, doesn't it mean that this is his hometown and recommended it to the playwright?"

After a pause, Gao Cheng's eyes swept over the three suspects under interrogation, turned to the garden and asked, "I still don't know the cause and effect of this incident, and I still need to go to the mountains to investigate again...... What the hell are you Mr. Hotumi looking for? ”

Look at the essence through the phenomenon, no matter what the case, as long as you grasp the center point, it is not far from the truth, and the charm of detectives is here, many of the world's top detectives are experts in information collection, and Conan is not far behind, it will seem that he already knows something, but he does not say it directly.

After all, Gao Cheng only indirectly learned clues from the mouth of the garden, and many details were not as comprehensive as Conan's, so the best choice was to go to the field to investigate.

The fan that HOTUMI made an appointment to meet should be one of the 3 travelers, and these people flatly denied it, but it shows that there is a problem, judging from the murder scene and the whole incident, the murderer should be the fan, so the other party's request for HOTUMI to find what is the key to the incident, that is, the center of the problem.

Judging from the scene, there is a high probability that the murderer will kill him, so HOTUMI definitely found something that cannot be known.

Returning to the location of "Winter Red Leaves", the body at the scene has been taken away, but there are still police officers who stay to block the scene, Gao Cheng checked back and forth several times with a flashlight at the scene after identifying himself, including the place where the notebook was found, but there was no big discovery.

The stab wound to the victim's abdomen was already a serious injury, and he would lose his ability to move directly, and it was probably at this time that he left a message of death, but the murderer noticed that he made up for the fatal knife.

The murderer probably left in a hurry after the murder for fear of being discovered by tourists, and took away the notebook that seemed to have been left with a death signal, but left it on the side of the road after finding nothing wrong.

It was extremely cold in the woods at night, and the garden tightened her clothes and leaned closer to Xiaolan, Gao Cheng was still investigating the scene, and Xiaolan was watching the European karate competition with a portable TV borrowed from Yamamuracao.

The game is getting more and more exciting, and people are looking forward to what that Kyogoku will look like......

"Still not good?" Yuan Zi looked at Gao Cheng in thought and asked.

"THE KEY SHOULD BE THE TREE THAT MR. HITUM FOUND, THE TREE THAT WAS ORIGINALLY TIED WITH A RED HANDKERCHIEF," GAO CHENG ASKED BACK, "ISN'T IT ON THIS LOCATION?" ”

"Mr. HOTUMI said it was on location," Sonoko said, "but maybe not here, this is the place where the red handkerchief is used in the TV series......"

"So someone had already done this before the TV was filmed?"

Gao Cheng's gaze fluctuated.

SAYING THAT, HOTUMI, WHO PROVIDED THE PLAYWRIGHT WITH THE IDEA, ALSO SAW A RED HANDKERCHIEF TIED TO A TREE BRANCH, AND THEN SOMEONE FOUND OUT ABOUT IT, SO HE PRETENDED TO BE A FAN AND ASKED HOTUMI TO FIND THE TREE.

Because of the popularity of the TV series, there are more and more tourists in this mountainous area, so the murderer came to look for the tree, but there are red handkerchiefs everywhere, and he can't find it......

IN OTHER WORDS, THE RED HANDKERCHIEF MAY BE SOME KIND OF MARKER, AND HOTUMI FINDS IT AND ASKS THE OTHER PARTY TO MEET IN THE LAST SCENE OF THE SERIES, BUT IS KILLED.

Gao Cheng felt that he was closer to the truth.

HOTUMI should have been killed on the spot before taking the murderer to his destination, probably because he discovered some secret, and threatened the other party when he met alone, so the scene looked so hasty.

In this case, the murderer may not know the destination, which is the location of the tree where the red handkerchief was originally tied......

Gao Cheng and Conan looked at each other and asked again, "When you met HOTUMI, which direction did he come from?" ”

"Over there," Yuan Zi pointed back, confused, "it should be over there, is there any problem?" ”

"If the idea came from the tree where the red handkerchief was originally tied, the staff should not take the red handkerchief off the tree without permission, since the tree was not filmed in the TV series, it must be tied again at a distance of a lot of time, because it would be strange if there were two trees with red handkerchiefs tied to them in the camera during the filming of the series......"

Gao Cheng said as he walked: "So as long as you go to a farther place to look for it, you should be able to find the tree, maybe HOTUMI found the location in this way, and you should be able to find it immediately if you follow the direction of HOTUMI's return......

"If I'm not mistaken, the murderer doesn't know over there!"

"Don't know yet?" SONOKO WAS SURPRISED, "BUT, IF THE MURDERER IS THAT FAN, ISN'T THAT JUST TRYING TO LET MR. HOTUMI FIND A POSITION?" ”

"Maybe I thought I could find it even if I didn't have HOTUMI, so I went straight to the poison, of course, there should also be a relationship where HOTUMO discovered the secret and suddenly threatened."

"Secret?"

It is not easy to find a tree with a red handkerchief in the leafy woods at night, and I am afraid that it was also marked with a red handkerchief in order to hide the murderer.

However, with a direction and a goal, many things have become much easier, Gao Cheng and Conan turned on their flashlights at the same time to check the branches of the autumn leaf trees on the road, and after walking for about 10 minutes, they still found their goal.

An old tree with red handkerchiefs fluttering in the wind on its branches, and the sharp-eyed Conan spotted this side at once, and also found that the soil under the tree was quite soft, and there were traces of excavation.

"SURE ENOUGH, MR. HOTUMI CAME HERE TO DIG BEFORE MEETING WITH THE PRISONER......"

Conan's complexion changed slightly, and before Gao Cheng could speak, he crouched down and brushed aside the fluffy fallen leaves and dirt, revealing a skull with black eye holes in the flashlight.

"It's the grave!"

Conan's face changed completely, and there was a little excitement to find the truth in his solemnity, but the others obviously didn't think so, and the dark woods added a bit of horror, and the garden and Xiaolan hugged each other again, and said in a trembling voice: "Grave, grave? Who died here? ”

Gao Cheng was not surprised at all, but suddenly his ears moved, and when he heard some subtle movements from the woods, he frowned and looked around: "This should be the reason why Mr. HOTUMI was killed, right, Mr. Mianguan?" ”

The forest was silent and did not respond, but under Gao Cheng's affirmative gaze, a chubby figure finally walked out, a white-haired old man wearing reading glasses, who was Mianguan Chensan among the three previous travelers.

"Mr. Mianguan," Gao Cheng took the initiative to speak, "is the question over?" ”

"Yes," Mianguanchen squinted, "It's too late, ask us another day...... But it's really amazing, the detectives of the castle actually found this place, it seems that God is on my side......"

With a sound of squirming, a group of unkind-looking thugs suddenly appeared behind Mianguanchen, all holding all kinds of knives in their hands, looking at Gao Cheng like a dead man.

There were at least 50 people, and before they knew it, they were surrounded by them......

Mianguan Chensan showed a confident smile on his face, and looked at Gao Chengdao: "To be honest, I was really shocked to see the hot detective appear in the hotel recently, I didn't plan to kill people at this time, but that guy from HOTUMI has actually found the bones, and he wants to extort a sum of money......

"I heard that the legendary detective is a kendo master, but this time I called all my subordinates in order to find here, isn't it a bit too much to deal with you?"

Yuan Zi swallowed dryly, looked at the gangsters in the night, and gradually moved closer to Xiaolan, but at this moment Xiaolan's body was also tense.

Dozens of meters away from gangsters armed with murder weapons is no longer a situation that can be dealt with casually......

"Y-What are you going to do?"

"Of course you're going to keep digging graves, and if you're going to blame it, you're going to come here with this detective."

Mianguan Chen San smiled, and was about to beckon his subordinates to close the encirclement, but suddenly saw Gao Cheng pull out a wooden knife from nowhere.

"Huh?"

"Like you just said, it's a bit too much, dealing with a bunch of guys who can't even use knives......"

Gao Cheng stopped Xiaolan from stepping forward, the wooden knife in his hand flipped over, somehow, as if there was a sharp breath released, and several members of the club in front couldn't help but wipe their eyes.

Damn it......

A thick-lipped club member at the head of a chicken nest involuntarily took a step back, and after reacting, he angrily picked up the real knife in his hand and rushed forward.

"Who does the wooden knife scare?!"

"Everybody hack him to death!!"
